On the first cold winter night, Pooh and his friends snuggle down in their beds for a long snooze . . . until mysterious sounds outside rouse them for a quick investigation and -- since this is a Pooh book -- a little party to finish things off.

Too sleepy and saccharine for me.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

One last Christmas book for the year!

Pooh saw in a book that Christmas trees are a thing, so he and Piglet set off to find a tree that will fit in Pooh's home . . . inside a tree.

Cute and charming.

A delightful picture book adaptation of Winnie-the-Pooh Chapter Five: In Which Piglet Meets a Heffalump filled with lively verse and colorful pictures modeled after Ernest Shepard's style. Too bad the same team didn't do more A. A. Milne adaptations or try some original tales.

(Pooh Project: Phase 2! I've managed to catalog all the shorter Pooh projects my family owns (see the list here). While I work through few remaining longer Pooh books we own, I'm missing my daily dose of Pooh, so I'm going to start seeking out some of the Pooh books I don't own – yet – from libraries IRL and online.

Jolly couplets about colors are teamed with cute pictures of Pooh and his friends to give a happy little board book I'd find easy to read to a toddler over and over.
